I tried it out but I didn't really like it that much. It seems to be good for most people though.

Go to the doc and get checked out. It could be anything from cancer to an anal fissure.

Even if it's not life threatening it will slowly get worse and the surgery to fix it if it does is one of the most painful experiences you can have. Better to address a hemorrhoid or fissure now using the various creams you can apply yourself rather than that.

No. My time is worth more than 10k and I'd rather spend it doing stuff I like to do.

Most people won't gel with the free version though as it uses ASCII.

The challenge will be finding an actual traditional conservative instance that isn't also a pro-Nazi fascist shithole.

People are paid to work on it tho.

Paying people doesn't necessarily translate to what you might want from it.

No no no it's just China doing you a solid and backing up your sensitive information just in case you lose your phone. It uses Blockchain technology where if you ever need it back they just block you.

I don't hate anybody but I do hate their random bad takes and opinions on things and I don't care about their families either.

Personally I don't care about the soccer moms, my main concern is all the problems that come with being a mainstream social media platform. Threads threatens to overwhelm the content being generated with all those problems where your Lemmy feed is just going to represent Instagram etc again. Screw that.

They can keep their 60 million threads, most of that is complete trash anyway.

Interesting read.

The likes of Spez were just not that intelligent enough to figure out how to make Reddit pay before the VCs called in the investments. Not that it's an easy problem to solve, but if you're going to take on money like Reddit did you sure as hell needed a better plan then leaving it up to later to figure out. Amazon had a plan clearly, Reddit did not.

Also, what Reddit is now doing mimics a little of what Facebook did too, the enshitification of your feeds (just look at the app). They're just hoping Reddit is as addictive as Facebook is and you'll stick around regardless. I wonder if they recent;y hired some new advisers that told them to make these recent changes too?

With interest rates going up it's costing more and more to have borrowed money sitting in the likes of Reddit hoping for a nice payday one day.

 

I was looking into the API available for Kbin and it looks like it's currently just read-only, is this correct? Is this even the case for your own instance of it?

The reference can be found here if anyone is curious. I was hoping it allowed posting of comments/new posts in some fashion that I could play with.

 

Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Ed Markey (D-MA) are calling for marijuana reform that prioritizes communities most impacted by the drug war and prevents monopolization by large corporations like Amazon and big tobacco firms.

 

Video game streaming company Twitch has updated its branding policy for streamers, prohibiting promotions of marijuana businesses and products while explicitly allowing alcohol partnerships.

While the Amazon-owned livestreaming hub reversed course on other unrelated aspects of new branding policy changes rolled out this week after facing significant pushback from the gaming community, it’s currently maintaining the cannabis ban.
